Usermin only does password authentication, so if you were to setup a
user with a shell like /bin/false he would be able to login to usermin,
but not telnet or SSH.

The only way to change From: lines like this is to use the Outgoing Address
Mapping feature of the Sendmail module in webmin to map vdo...@se...
to use...@vd.... Then when sendmail routes the mail out, it should
modify the From: line to use...@vd....
